No Conviction...
(Continued from Page 1)
Charges by the NAACP that
Duckworth was killed because
he sat in the front of the bus
were denied, and the case never
came to court.
Another instance of Mississippi justice was the widely publicized unsolved lynching of Mack
Charles Parker in 1959. Parker
had been accused of raping a
white woman, but the case
against him was doubtful. One
of the prosecutions key witnesses said that the charges against
Parker were lies.
Parker was carried from his
cell in Poplarv'ille jail by a
group of ten men who were familiar enough with the jail to
know where the sheriff kept his
keys. Parker's body was never
found, and the identity of the
men was never discovered.
In the spring of 1955 two voter
registration workers were
lynched, George W. Lee in Bel-
zoni, and Lamar D. Smith in
Brookhaven. Their murderers
have never been traced.
A final example, which made
national headlines like the Beckwith trial, was the killing of 14
year old Emmet Till. Till had
been carried off by two white
men who claimed that he had
whistled at the wife of one of
them.
Although the men admitted
that they had seized Till, they
were acquitted because the local
undertaker and the county coroner said positive identification
of Till's recovered body was no
longer possible.
